Almost A Year Out

[Kimmes 38]

I am almost a year out - Jan 6th. I cannot believe how far I have come. I am waiting to do a big one year update but wanted to share a few pics that might inspire a newbie or someone just starting their journey...

I was 239.8 when I started this journey:

My goal was 155 - I made it NOvember 1st - just under 10 months out.

Today I am 144.4. Here is a recent picture:

Its hard to believe how far I have come. I love the journey I have taken and where I am going. I have made some wonderful supportive friends on this site - God has blessed me in so many ways - amazing! I am looking forward to 2012 as I continue this journey and move on to maintaining. If you are thinking of VSG or on the fence....DO IT!

Kimmes, I've said it before and I'll say it again! You look amazing! You are soooo trim! What an amazing transformation. As you know I have been sleeved nearly 18mths now and I still love looking at goal pics and reading other people's journeys... when I see successes as brilliant as yours, it really does motivated me to get to my goal too!

Congratulations on being a motivator and a big loser! =]
